Gifts “made in” Pays des Achards
We have selected a multitude of gift ideas for you – easy to find near you and if possible, “made in” Pays des Achards.
Every year, it’s the same refrain: “But what am I going to be able to offer Grandma / Auntie / Brother-in-law / my dog / the nice neighbor who looks after my dog? ". Needless to say, this team brainstorm cost us the contents of two coffee pots and a certain number of cinnamon cookies – but we had to get into the Christmas spirit, right?!
For foodies
There are few people who don't appreciate a gift that can be eaten or drunk. You will thus be able to:
- Make your own personalized basket by going to our local producers. Herbal teas, rillettes, snail terrines, chocolate muesli, honey or craft beer, everything is made 100% in the Pays des Achards.
- Opt for a basket prepared on site at the bulk grocery store At Nini and Ferdi’s or at the delicatessen Perched on a tree in Pickles
- Take a tour The Mothaise Cave or at the restaurant-bar L’Atelier for lovers of wines, beers and spirits from the Achard Distillery

And also…
Why not take a trip to the Vendée recycling in Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche to hunt for an original object? Perhaps a frame to repaint and personalize with a family photo, an old bottle that transforms into a water jug or a mug from the 1970s that you can fill with treats will make someone happy?
Don't forget that many exhibitors will be present at the Christmas markets and that you will easily find other gifts there.
Finally, let's remember that the best gift is the one that comes from the heart. Regardless of the budget or size, the main thing is to show that you have thought about the person who will unwrap this present and appreciate your gesture.
